"We are not made of iron, so as not to be shaken by temptations. But this is our consolation, this our solace -- to deposit, or (to speak with greater propriety) to disburden in the bosom of God everything that harasses us. Confidence, it is true, brings tranquility to our minds, but it is only in the event of our exercising ourselves in prayers. Whenever, therefore, we are assailed by any temptation, let us betake ourselves forthwith to prayer, as to a sacred asylum."

About Me

I am first and foremost a sinner saved by grace, a completely
undeserving child of God. After that I am the husband of the most
beautiful woman I know (my high school sweetheart) and a father to our
two wonderful children. Thirdly, I am a Presbyterian pastor (ordained
in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church) who longs to help others know
for themselves the joy and salvation that I have found in Christ Jesus.
Among my other passions are St. Louis Cardinal baseball (which has
historically been pretty easy) and Mizzou Tiger football (which, though
great in recent years, has historically required far more perseverance).
I moved to Michigan in 2006, but spent the first 34+ years of my life
in St. Louis, Missouri. If you're from St. Louis, the answer to your
question is Webster Groves H.S. -- Go Statesmen, get The Bell!
I am also a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism
("the oldest and finest journalism school in the world") and Covenant
Theological Seminary, where the Lord truly developed my great
appreciation for his grace.
